Foodie Penpal!!
This has been an absolutely crazy month! (It's still crazy, and it's technically over!) But one of my favorite things I did this month was being a Foodie Penpal. You sign up through this website: www.theleangreenbean.com and you send someone package and recieve a package from a person in return.
Due to it being a crazy month (that'll be another post) I forgot about having signed, was late, had the person assigned to send me a package reassigned...BUT IT WAS STILL AWESOME!!!
After a bit of confusion, Rachael was assigned to send me a package (both my penpal and her penpal went AWOL) and she did a great job of sending things that she eats frequently. She said that she is always on the run, so snacks and energy bars are a big part of her diet. I am always reluctant to buy energy bars, because I'm never sure how they're going to taste, so I always just eat Clif bars. This was an very cool variety of different bars. I've already eaten a mint chocolate Luna bar that was really good and I'm looking forward to trying the rest. The same day I got my package I had just been to Costco and gotten a huge box of Stretch Island fruit leathers. They were a staple of my childhood and I hadn't eaten them in years. And then they came in my box! Hooray for childhood memories. There is also Annie's snacks (also a big part of childhood) and chocolate. (always good) Finally, Rachael sent a small container of protein powder - another thing I love but hate to buy, so I can't wait to sample that either.
Thanks Rachael!
